Muschino said the airport will partner with a local high-school program to start aviation maintenance courses in August and that the county-approved training will feed an expected pipeline of technicians for local MRO firms. He said the airport is pursuing conversations with MRO companies and community partners to recruit firms that would hire locally.

Muschino listed several projects and funding items under way or awarded: a federal runway grading and safety-area project (about $750,000), a GTT hangar project (about $3.75 million), six west-quad box hangars (about $5 million), a planned 3-million-dollar solar farm at Chamberlain Road supported in part by a $500,000 state grant, a terminal apron rehabilitation (about $2.5 million awarded via federal funding) and a planned connector road to open development ground near Hunt Road and the Village Quarter area. He said a utility corridor project to provide redundant utilities for the Air National Guard will also open large areas for MRO development.

Muschino emphasized the airport’s physical advantages — long runways and adjacent developable acreage — and said the airport is targeting aviation-adjacent jobs and advanced air mobility opportunities rather than chasing traditional airline service. He noted ongoing work on bird mitigation in detention ponds and a plan to pair floating solar with retention facilities.

Muschino also announced the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds are scheduled to appear at the airport’s air show in August 2026.

Commissioners thanked Muschino and asked questions about workforce development and partner outreach; Muschino said bringing employers to hire the trained students is the next priority.","Airport director Craig Muschino told Vigo County commissioners the airport is pursuing maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) development, a high-school training program, a state grant for a solar farm and multiple federally funded construction projects.",{"_33":112,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":113,"_41":114,"_43":115,"_45":116,"_47":117,"_49":118,"_51":119,"_53":120,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":121,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":122,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6249060,"Consultant outlines 2025 Indiana legislative changes affecting Vigo County schools, taxes and infrastructure",419,146000,565000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3207916-c9c46f60a61adf119808f47278010498&start=146&end=565","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3207916-c9c46f60a61adf119808f47278010498/thumbnail_146000.jpg","/articles/6249060/Vigo-County/Indiana/Consultant-outlines-2025-Indiana-legislative-changes-affecting-Vigo-County-schools-taxes-and-infrastructure","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6249060-312acacfd7766b5993f962d58da4bec6/orig.mp4?Expires=1771178445&Signature=WcXYzIkn~0vtpT3D3IMxEw0Mg0RplbHXwgt-N1Q4mBg48aRl5bRPVS3jjs0TKedPdEU-RN6G32Z-lacq4rbdN~0QETgRRrrdOol6DllEG1CNuh~tSZ~hMKU-hduvyle5ONLrP1wcF~c0Su2OgO-upLs0LuXtG9oJXbpB4k0UcbtVLK42jLw7vWmzIMVu2Q9oGC7wt1WFQKbPPTBsGByxU5CjdVuV6Ifm0GLD1tFXpZ2ar6he79tcg2xztRqhqgCW-Zp-I0ehSbxUYtGzaXwZaachEsG5EEQc-XwTIXOGaZ3DCjuXQ9mRFHTwc9Swp~dvYabMG0HjKLVQ9LaH7TDH2g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Rachel Leslie of RGL Solutions updated the Vigo County Board of Commissioners on legislation from the 2025 Indiana legislative session and highlighted bills the county followed closely.

Leslie told commissioners the session began Jan. 8 and closed April 25 and that several bills with local implications reached the governor’s desk. She identified House Bill 1515 on local board oversight of school funds, Senate Bill 119 related to the Regional Hospital and Union Hospital merger, and Senate Bill 1 addressing local income tax (LIT) rules as items the county had tracked.

Leslie said House Bill 1515 — the bill the commissioners asked Senator Goode to carry — passed and remains on the governor’s desk. She said Senate Bill 119 passed and enables the state to work with Terre Haute Regional Hospital and Union Hospital on the merger process.

On local finance, Leslie summarized Senate Bill 1 as changing how counties may use LIT dollars for school infrastructure and giving counties increased local control of LIT over time; she said provisions required for the county to have the discussion about using LIT for school projects were included in the final bill. Leslie also described a change to property-tax credits, noting a 10% credit capped at $300 that affects many homeowners.

Leslie described House Bill 1461 as a package that altered road- and rail-related programs, including an increase in some interstate speed limits, creation of new railroad infrastructure tax credits and expanded eligibility for low-water crossing grants. She said Community Crossings program rules changed so counties without a “wheel tax” must adopt one to access additional matching funds beyond the first funding tier; because Vigo County already has a wheel tax, she said the county is well positioned to compete for additional dollars.

Leslie said House Bill 1134 expanded topics that may be discussed in executive session for county bodies, listing health care options, specific employee compensation, contract negotiations involving proprietary information and employee handbook updates as now potentially appropriate for executive session.

She also said the state faces a multi-billion-dollar projected revenue shortfall that produced cuts across certain statewide budgets; she noted higher education institutions faced a 5% reduction in funding across line items and summarized other state-level budget impacts.

Commissioners asked clarifying questions about Community Crossings eligibility and the possible local decision points related to LIT. Leslie offered to follow up individually for commissioners who wanted more detail on Senate Bill 1.

The update concluded with Leslie offering to answer additional questions and with commissioners thanking RGL Solutions for tracking legislation on the county’s behalf.","Rachel Leslie of RGL Solutions briefed Vigo County commissioners on bills from the 2025 Indiana legislative session that could affect local school funding, county control of local income tax, road and railroad infrastructure, and executive-session rules for county meetings.","actionData","errors"]
